Benefits of Cooperating Organization Status

Cooperating organizations are invited to participate in ISA's activities, including the annual convention, various international conferences and joint workshops. Other benefits of cooperating status include reciprocity in web site promotion, publicity and announcements, and shared Internet resources, including the private ISA listserv and blog. We have posted a list of our current cooperating organizations on our website here.
